Abstract:BRT will utilize Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) technology, modern land use planning and transportation policies to support new concepts for rapid transit systems based on bus-like vehicles. The success of some of these pioneering systems, such as the systems in Curitiba and San Paolo, Brazil, have shown that these systems are capable of providing heavily-used, high capacity rapid transit at a reduced cost.
This research effort was prepared to explore the relationship between BRT and ITS technologies in order to determine the best set of ITS enhancements to optimize overall BRT performance. Specifically, this research attempts to articulate appropriate sets of ITS technologies for various BRT operational configurations. There are three objectives: Research and Document ITS Technologies Applicable to BRT; Identify the ITS Technologies Utilized in Current BRT Projects; and Examine Opportunities to Enhance Specific BRT Projects.
